Chen Xiexia
You can wait a lifetime for a headline like that.
Would you believe it? My namesake wins China's first gold of the Olympics with superior muscle-power and a fearsome snatch. Chen, 25, lifted 95kg in the snatch and set a new record for the class with 117kg in the clean and jerk.
It's little things like this that make my day.

Of culture, pop-culture and petri dishes. Keeping count while the clock strikes thirteen.

I missed that....
Was watching the swimming this morning.
Great headline... Tony Livesey in his Daily Sport heyday would have been proud of it.
